Quote: "The defenders of the sky have destroyed two enemy missiles over [Dnipropetrovsk] Oblast. I am grateful to Air Command Skhid for their efforts.

However, several fires broke out in the Dnipro district due to the missile strikes. No one was killed or injured."

Details: The Nikopol district suffered from the Russian bombardment and kamikaze drone attacks, which targeted the city of Nikopol and Pokrovske, Myrove and Marhanets hromadas. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Infrastructure, five houses, two outbuildings, and a car have been damaged.
